The first 1 is a Chrysler Pafaica, cant spell. Has Hellcat badges!
I'm an 80's baby so the Super Van 2 is my dream. Super van is cool, but too small. Curious about the drivetrain. Looks like 4 slicks on it.

It's a 1955 GMC L'Universelle. Never made production. V8 front wheel drive. Pretty cool van. Harley Earl was part of the design team. 180 hp of Pontiac V8 power lol. Cargo and passenger models would have been available.

Look at the steering and you cant see the motor. That big part is the radiator. It pulls fresh air in from the roof vent. From what I have read it didnt have a working ignition or transaxle. But i wish it would have made production.

One more to dream over.
